Title: A height adjustment system for desk or workstation.
Inventor: FRANKISH ROGER GRAHAM
IPC: A47B9/04
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: A height adjustment system for a desk, workstation or the like is provided comprising a plurality of height adjustable legs (20, 30, 30'; 520, 530, 530') each having a first part in the form of a hollow column (31; 531) and a second part (32, 34; 532, 534) movable relative to the first part in a vertical direction. The second part of each leg includes a gearbox housing containing a crown gear provided on a vertically extending rotatable shaft (35, 535) and at least one pinion gear (310) engageable with said crown gear. The vertical shaft includes a screw-threaded portion (36; 536) engaged by nuts (38; 538) on a base plate of the column. A winding mechanism (50) is provided for rotating a horizontally extending shaft (211, 311) on which the pinion gear is provided. Rotation of the horizontal shaft (211, 311) causes the vertical shaft to rotate thereby moving the second part (32, 34; 532, 534) relative to the column (31; 531) to adjust the height of a top member (10; 510) supported by the leg. The gearbox housing (32; 532) includes ball bearing race assemblies (340; 350; 360) for the crown and pinion gears which enable the height of two or more legs to be adjusted simultaneously by a single winding mechanism. The leg also includes a self-adjusting linear bearing (40) between telescopically movable parts of the leg. In a further embodiment, the height adjustment system may also include a duct for cabling (555), a cable tray (560) and a hinged duct cover (590) pivotally attached to the top member (510). <IMAGE>

Title: Low spring rate multi-convoluted collapsible spacer
Inventor: NAHRWOLD THOMAS LEE
IPC: F16C25/08
Filed: 2003-05-27
Granted: 2005-06-29
Abstract: A low spring rate multi-convoluted collapsible spacer adapted for use as a bearing preloading element. The collapsible spacer comprises a substantially tubular body compressible in an axial direction thereof from a predetermined free length to a substantially shorter length. The tubular body includes a yielding zone and an elastic zone adjacent to said yielding zone. Each of the yielding and elastic zones has at least one convolution curved in the same radial direction. An average thickness of the body of the spacer in the elastic zone is substantially greater than an average thickness of the body in the yielding zone that provides the collapsible spacer a substantially higher resiliency in the axial direction in the elastic zone than in the yielding zone. As a whole, the collapsible spacer has a relatively low spring rate, thus larger amount of "spring back", hence less sensitivity to wear and maladjustment.

Abstract: Push bar fittings which extend in longitudinal grooves of the frames of windows, doors, or the like, are provided with holding means by which ribs projecting from the side walls of the groove are engaged from below, with the push bar being mounted for displacement above the ribs. To provide as wide a range as possible for cutting the push bar to length, and, on the other hand, to obtain a good guidance of the push bar ends in spite of that, the push bar is provided at the level of the ribs with a portion correspondingly sloping toward the groove bottom. Consequently, the free end of the push bar then extends in the groove portion below the ribs and is thus prevented from moving out of the longitudinal groove.
